The Cleveland Browns (3-5) looked scary good during their Monday Night Football win over the Cincinnati Bengals (4-4) at FirstEnergy Stadium on Halloween.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was sacked five times — twice by defensive end Myles Garrett, who arrived to the game dressed up as Vecna of Stranger Things.
Burrow, 25, threw for 232 yards, two touchdowns and an interception on 25-for-35 completions, struggling without sidelined wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase (hip).
Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett, on the other hand, excelled in his role, throwing for 278 yards and a TD on 17-for-22 completed passes.
Brissett, 29, threw his one touchdown to WR Amari Cooper, and the QB also rushed for a TD himself.
Browns running back Nick Chubb scored a rushing touchdown, as well, finishing the night with 101 yards on 23 carries.
Burrow is winless against Browns
Burrow is now 0-4 against the Browns, while head coach Kevin Stefanski moves to an undefeated 5-0 over Cincy in his career.
Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd both caught TD passes from Burrow, but it was during garbage time in the final frame, going scoreless for three quarters.
Joe Mixon was a dissapointment at running back for Cincy, rushing for just 27 yards on eight carries.
The win over Cincy snaps a four-game losing streak by Cleveland ahead of their Bye week.
Bengals will be without Chase for at least the four weeks, so they’ll need to find a fix to their offensive woes before taking on the reborn Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
